Eucalyptus was used to dye/print this one-of-a-kind Table Runner, #350.

Ecoprinting uses natural dyes from locally sourced plants to create extraordinary color, pattern, and texture on natural fibers such as silk, linen, cotton, and wool. The plants are tightly bound into pre-mordanted (enables the dye color to adhere) cloth and steamed, creating a permanent transfer of form and pigment from the plants to the fiber. The cloth is then dried, aged, washed and ironed.

The process is highly variable. At different seasons of the year, different pigments may concentrate in various plant parts to create color variability. Results vary according to plant season, plant part used, processing time, local water type, mordant, fiber type, etc. An experimental attitude is required;)

Fiber content: Silk Noil. This fabric has beautiful texture and drape.
The edges are left raw for a natural look, and are lightly fringed.

Measurements: 85 inches long by 14 inches wide.
On a 6' table, this would leave 6.5" drop on each side.

Hand wash in cool water with mild soap and lay flat to dry. Steam iron at silk setting.
